Certain statements in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, such as statements regarding 
expected cost savings, the optimization of our network through Network 2.0 and Tricolor, the planned tax-free spin-off of the FedEx Freight business into a new publicly traded company 
(the “FedEx Freight Spin-Off”), future financial targets, business strategies, management’s views with respect to future events and financial performance, and the assumptions underlying 
such expected cost savings, targets, strategies, and statements. Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or that include the words “will,” “may,” “could,” “would,” 
“should,” “believes,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, 
uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking 
statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic conditions in the global markets in which we operate; anti-trade measures and additional changes in 
international trade policies and relations; our ability to successfully implement our business strategies and global transformation program and network optimization initiatives, including 
Network 2.0 and Tricolor, effectively respond to changes in market dynamics, and achieve the anticipated benefits of such strategies and actions; our ability to achieve our cost reduction 
initiatives and financial performance goals; the timing and amount of any costs or benefits or any specific outcome, transaction, or change (of which there can be no assurance), or the terms, 
timing, and structure thereof, related to our global transformation program and other ongoing reviews and initiatives; a significant data breach or other disruption to our technology 
infrastructure; our ability to successfully implement the FedEx Freight Spin-Off, and achieve the anticipated benefits of such transaction; damage to our reputation or loss of brand equity; 
our ability to meet our labor and purchased transportation needs while controlling related costs; failure of third party service providers to perform as expected, or disruptions in our 
relationships with those providers or their provision of services to FedEx; the effect of any international conflicts or terrorist activities, including as a result of the current conflicts between 
Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; evolving or new U.S. domestic or international laws and government regulations, policies, and actions; changes in fuel prices or currency exchange 
rates, including significant increases in fuel prices as a result of the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and other geopolitical and regulatory developments; 
the effect of intense competition; our ability to match capacity to shifting volume levels; an increase in self-insurance accruals and expenses; failure to receive or collect expected insurance 
coverage; our ability to effectively operate, integrate, leverage, and grow acquired businesses and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and other strategic transactions; noncash 
impairment charges related to our goodwill and certain deferred tax assets; the future rate of e-commerce growth; future guidance, regulations, interpretations, challenges, or judicial 
decisions related to our tax positions; labor-related disruptions; legal challenges or changes related to service providers contracted to conduct certain linehaul and pickup-and-delivery 
operations and the drivers providing services on their behalf and the coverage of U.S. employees at Federal Express Corporation under the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended; our ability 
to remove costs related to services provided to the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS") under the contract for Federal Express Corporation to provide the USPS domestic transportation services that 
expired in September 2024; our ability to quickly and effectively restore operations following adverse weather or a localized disaster or disturbance in a key geography; the effects of a 
widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease or public health crises; any liability resulting from and the costs of defending against litigation; our ability to achieve or 
demonstrate progress on our goal of carbon-neutral operations by 2040; and other factors which can be found in FedEx Corp.’s and its subsidiaries’ press releases and FedEx Corp.’s filings 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Any 
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a 
result of new information, future events, or otherwise. 
FedEx reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We have supplemented the reporting of our financial 
information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most 
directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under “Appendix.” 
The financial targets and outlook provided herein and discussed during this presentation assume the company’s current economic forecast and fuel price expectations, successful 
completion of planned stock repurchases, and no additional adverse economic, geopolitical or international trade-related developments. FedEx’s earnings per share and effective tax rate 
forecasts are based on current law and related regulations and guidance. This presentation should be reviewed in conjunction with our fourth quarter fiscal 2025 earnings release and 
webcast of the earnings presentation conference call, which are available on FedEx’s website at investors.fedex.com

performance

Federal Express
FedEx Freight
• Adjusted operating income* increased driven by cost 
reduction benefits from DRIVE, increased U.S. and 
international export volume, and higher base yield
• Significant headwinds from higher purchased 
transportation and wage rates, one fewer operating day 
and U.S. Postal Service contract expiration
$1.6B $1.7B
Q4 FY24*

$507M $477M
(6%)
• Operating income declined due to lower fuel surcharges, 
reduced weight per shipment, higher healthcare costs, 
increased wage rates, and one fewer operating day
• Higher base yield and a $33 million gain on the sale of a 
facility partially offset these headwinds

Capital allocation priorities
Lowered capital spend
• Reduced capital spending in FY25 by approximately 
$1.1 billion YoY, marking lowest capital spending in
10 years
• Lowest CapEx-to-revenue level in FedEx Corp. history
• Planning for lower annual aircraft CapEx; expected to 
be ~$1 billion in FY26 and immediate years beyond
Enhancing capital return to stockholders 
• Completed $500 million of stock repurchases in Q4 FY25, 
leading to a total of $3 billion in FY25
• Increased dividend by 5% in FY26, marking fifth consecutive 
year of increases
• Expect combination of FY26 dividend payments and share 
repurchases to approximate adjusted free cash flow

    FY26 considerations
• Expect $1 billion in transformation tailwinds from DRIVE 
and Network 2.0
• U.S. Postal Service contract expiration will be a headwind 
for first four months
• Significant revenue net of cost improvement is 
contingent upon improving demand and pricing 
environment 
• Will resume full-year outlook once more clarity is gained 
around global trade policy and demand environment 
23
Enterprise updates
FedEx Freight separation on track
• Expect to spin-off Freight in June 2026
Capital market days 
• FedEx Corporation investor day to be held in early 
calendar year 2026 in Memphis 
• FedEx Freight investor day to be held in Spring 2026
Network 2.0 progress
• Significant value creation opportunities remain, as Network 
2.0 represents $2 billion benefit by the end of FY27 from 
our physical parcel network integration and one FedEx 
associated savings

    Non-GAAP financial measures 
Our non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with, and are not an alternative or 
substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of our financial statements 
should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized,
it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or
similar names.
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow 
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not defined under GAAP. Therefore, they should not be considered a substitute for
income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other 
companies. It should not be inferred that our non-GAAP free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow measures represent amounts 
available for discretionary expenditures.

We have supplemented the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under “Appendix.” The financial targets and outlook provided herein and discussed during this presentation assume the company’s current economic forecast and fuel price expectations, successful completion of planned stock repurchases, and no additional adverse economic, geopolitical or international trade-related developments. FedEx’s earnings per share and effective tax rate forecasts are based on current law and related regulations and guidance. This presentation should be reviewed in conjunction with our fourth quarter fiscal 2025 earnings release and webcast of the earnings presentation conference call, which are available on FedEx’s website at investors.fedex.com Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures 4

    • 14. Non-GAAP financial measures Our non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with, and are not an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of our financial statements should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not defined under GAAP. Therefore, they should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. It should not be inferred that our non-GAAP free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow measures represent amounts available for discretionary expenditures. 27 1,2,3,4,5,6 See “Footnotes for Non-GAAP Reconciliation Slides” below for details.
